VHF Walkie-talkies

craig miles

You may have come across the term VHF in relation to walkie talkie hire, and wondered what it means.

VHF stands for Very High Frequency, and is the the frequency range between 30 Mhz (Megahertz) and 300 Mhz.

Choosing between VHF & UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is important when hiring two way radio walkie talkies because the ‘wavelength’ is inversely proportional to the frequency, which means that the higher UHF frequencies (300 – 3000 Mhz) have a shorter wavelength than VHF.  This means that the shorter UHF signals tend to be better suited to use in buildings and built up areas, because the ‘waves’ get around objects better.

Conversely, VHF tends to be a better solution for outdoor events, as the lower frequency normally allows greater signal range, which may be important.

For any help with hiring etc, contact Craig on 07905 025328, or use the contact form.

    What Is RoIP? How Radio over IP Works and When to Use It | Yesway

    RoIP is a strong option when your main requirement is to connect radio systems over distance, support remote radio access, or build a more flexible radio network using IP infrastructure. It is usually a better fit than simpler telephone-style integration when the goal is radio networking rather than just connecting radios to phone users.

    Connecting the World

    Connecting the world is a moral imperative, in our opinion. Recent figures suggest that less than half the world has internet access. Connectivity brings economic and cultural benefits. Connectivity also empowers women and girls, who currently have less access to the internet. Without the internet, they are kept at a disadvantage. Disadvantage in terms of…

    What is  Lorawan First of all, what is Lorawan.  It is a wireless technology that allows small amounts of data to be sent between a remote sensor (such as a river level detector), and the Internet. Lorawan technology is very efficient at sending the sensor data over long distances, whilst consuming very little power. This…

  • History of Two Way Radio

    Radio communications systems started to appear in the late 19th Century, with pioneers like Marconi sending signals across the Atlantic by morse code. Soon such systems were being rapidly adopted by both government and industry, as an alternative to the existing ‘Wired’ telegraph systems. Radio offered advantages over the Telegraph system, due to cheaper infrastructure…

    Two-way Radio for Farms

    For Agriculture Farmers are increasingly choosing to use two-way radio for farms, instead of mobile phones for a number of reasons: 1)   Higher reliability than mobile phones in sparse rural areas  due to poor phone coverage. 2) More rugged design of two-way radio handsets. Models from Hytera  & Tait for example can survive being dropped…
